Patent GB-1153860-A (GB)
Title: The Braking of Vehicles, such as Railway Vehicles, Travelling on Tracks
Inventor: GARBERS ERNST
IPC: B61K7/00
Filed: 1966-10-24
Abstract: 1,153,860. Track brakes. E. GARBERS. 24 Oct., 1966 [23 Oct., 1965], No. 47738/66. Heading F2E. In a railway track brake at least one braking member 3, made of an elastomeric material, is adapted to be moved into an engaging position with the wheel periphery of the vehicle on the track such that the wheels ride on the braking member or members and produce an appreciable retardation as a result of a molecular movement in the elastomeric material dependent upon the weight and the speed of the vehicle being retarded. As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the braking member 3 of elastomeric material is arranged on a movable support 2 adapted to be brought into action and rendered inactive by lifting and lowering of the braking members 3 through the displacement of levers 4 and a pull rod 5, the engaging and disengaging of the braking members can be controlled automatically by a speed measuring device 7 in dependence upon the speed of the vehicle being retarded. When the vehicle runs over the head surface 100 of the track rail 1 and the braking members 3 are in the disengaged position, shown in the lefthand part of Fig. 2, no braking action results. However, if the speed of the vehicle is above a predetermined amount the braking members 3 are raised to the position shown in the righthand part of Fig. 2 and the vehicle rolls over the elastomeric material to effect an appreciable retarding effect by the molecular movement in the elastomeric material which is dependent on the wheel pressure and the speed of the vehicle. Fig. 3 shows an alternative embodiment in which the braking members 3 are raised by inflating a flexible tube 9 to press levers 10 and 11 about pivot points 13 out of the broken line inoperative position illustrated in Fig. 3 into a position shown in full lines whereby the support 2 with the elastomeric material is lifted and brake release springs 12 are loaded. When the flexible tube is emptied, the springs 12 press the rockable levers 10 and 11 back to the broken line position of rest and the brake members 3 are lowered to their inoperative position. The surface of the braking members 3 may be formed with a groove 8 to accommodate the wheel flange. In an alternative embodiment (not shown), the braking device can be engaged by passing fluid into a cavity in the elastomeric material itself.

Title: Improvements in or relating to methods of distributing a suspension of luminescent material over the picture area of a cathode-ray tube
IPC: H01J9/22
Filed: 1962-12-19
Abstract: 952,280. Cathode-ray tubes. PHILIPS ELECTRICAL INDUSTRIES Ltd. Dec. 19, 1962 [Dec. 22, 1961], No. 47953/62. Heading H1D. [Also in Division B2] In an arrangement for coating the picture area of a cathode-ray tube with luminescent material by distributing it as a cone of jets into a settling liquid 3, an auxiliary liquid, e.g. water, is supplied before and after the material flow, that is, while the cone is being formed and during its collapse. In use, measuring bottles 19 are first filled by suction with luminescent material and potassium silicate respectively. Water from inlet 13 is then admitted to the distributer 7 by valve 11; when the cone is fully established valves 17 are opened to admit the coating materials and the water shut off. When the bottles 19 are empty a valve 37 opens to flush them with water which maintains the cone until all the materials have left the distributer. The valves are time-switch controlled, and it is stated that, instead of water, the first flow may be a solution of bariumnitrate, which also constitutes the settling liquid 3.

Filed: 1965-11-22
Abstract: 1,161,881. Photo-electrically controlling granulation. IMPERIAL CHEMICAL INDUSTRIES Ltd. Nov.14, 1966 [Nov.22, 1965], No.49435/65. Heading G1A. [Also in Division G3] A granulation process is controlled by measuring the particle size distribution of a representative sample of granulated material and adjusting the granulating conditions to maintain the size distribution within desired limits automatically or manually. Various arrangements are described for measuring the size distribution, all involving a measurement by means of an X-ray transmission gauge of the rate of flow of granulated material. In one arrangement, Fig. 1, a sample in hopper 10 is fed under gravity past an air current 12 which spreads out the stream such that light (small) granules are diverted more than heavy (large) granules. A vane 16 moves from one side of the stream to the other directing granules into two hoppers 14A, 14B. The flow output from each hopper is measured as the vane moves and the difference or ratio used to obtain a cumulative size-frequency curve for the granule stream. This is compared visually or automatically with a standard curve and the granulating conditions adjusted accordingly as required. Alternative methods include: variation of the speed of the air current to divert the granules, instead of using the vane 16; movement of a single hopper across the stream spread by a single speed air blower; use of a fixed single hopper instead of two as in Fig. 1 and variation of the air current speed. The method is applicable to any type of granulation method and to the granulation of various materials e.g. fertilisers, organic materials, foodstuffs and medicaments. Apparatus for X-ray absorption measurements on the granular flow is described in Specification 1,094,621.

Title: Improvements in or relating to a mattress and the method for producing same
IPC: A47C27/04
Filed: 1965-11-24
Abstract: 1,059,620. Mattresses. LIBRESA S.A. Nov. 24, 1965 [Nov. 26, 1964], No. 49873/65. Heading A4M. Mattresses are formed in a continuous length by applying a layer of plastics sponge 24, 24a to one or both ends of a pre-arranged layer of springs 1, polymerising the sponge material, and cutting the continuous length into desired mattress lengths. Coil springs 1 are first positioned in a pre-determined distribution on studs 11 carried by an endless conveyer 6 and are conveyed through a first station in which the springs 1 are tied by strings in a compressed condition. A layer of jute 14 is then applied over the springs 1 before they are carried over a reversing roller 8 to pass horizontally along the lower run of the conveyer 6. Adjacent the roller 8 sponge material 24 is injected by nozzles 17 on to a moving strip 25 of silicone treated paper which carries the sponge layer 24 parallel to the jute covered spring layer so that the jute and the ends of the springs 1 become embedded in the sponge layer 24 which is polymerized in its run between the rollers 8, 9. The continuous length of mattress is then passed around a reversing roller and has further layers of jute 29 and plastics sponge 24a applied to the opposite ends of the springs. The continuous strip then passes through a kiln 33 to ensure final polymerization of the sponge layers. At subsequent stations (Fig. 3, not shown) the continuous length is cut by knives or saws 34 into desired mattress lengths 36 which pass to stations 37, 38 at which the compressing strings are cut. Further stations include an optional mattress compressing station 45, a station 39 at which the mattresses are inserted into a cover bag, packing stations 42, 43 and a discharge track 44. The springs may be blade springs. In an alternative arrangement, no cover bag is provided. In this case the silicone paper strips 25, 25a are replaced by plasticized fabric strips which remain adhered to the sponge layers and thus provide a cover for these layers.
